"Who's Driving You?"

Scripture Reading:
Revelation 1:17-18  (HCSB) When I saw Him, I fell at His feet like a dead man. He laid His right hand on me and said, “Don’t be afraid! I am the First and the Last, and the Living One. I was dead, but look—I am alive forever and ever, and I hold the keys of death and Hades.

Devotional Reading:

Instability in our world today is at an all-time high. Conflicts, worker and immigrant unrest, oil and gas prices, political infighting, school violence..........our news is so full of unsettled news, that it is no wonder we live in a world of fear and uncertainty. Satan delights in these distractions, as we focus on the fear, and let fear cause us to turn to our own thinking for solutions. As this happens, we slowly lose sight of the Rock of our salvation, our personal security and peace.......in Jesus Christ. When we kick out our fear and other negative emotions by surrender and confession before God, He can become our peace of mind. Hopefully our fear will drive us to God and cause us to mentally and emotional fall before Him in surrender. He can then lay His hand on us and say, "Do not be afraid." However, more often than not fear drives us to worry, insecurity, turmoil, depression and bad health. God will not usurp our will and force peace and security into us.

God, I have been trying to have security and peace by controlling everything. It does not work. I am willing to surrender my control to You. Teach me unity and freedom. In the name Jesus Christ, Amen.

Keep the Son in your eyes,
